SAN MARCOS BOYS FALL IN PONY MUSTANG
WORLD SERIES

The San Marcos X-Treme, a North County boys baseball team, lost to a Texas team in the Pony Mustang League World Series on Saturday night, putting an end to their run at the championship.

After beating a team from the Philippines 21-1 in the morning, X-Treme lost 6-2 to the Knights from Keller, Texas, in the evening.

The World Series is being played in Burleson, Texas, with the championship game to take place tonight.

Eight teams from the U.S., Mexico and the Philippines have been vying for the title in the Pony Baseball World Series Mustang division, for boys ages 9 and 10.

The 12 players on X-Treme are all 10 years old and live in San Marcos and Vista. Many have been playing together for five years, starting in the Rancho Buena Vista Little League, according to head coach Darin Campbell.

X-Treme won the West Zone championship in Los Alamitos, which sent them to the World Series.

Earlier in the week, Campbell said that win or lose in Texas, X-Treme will play together again as a team next year as a Pony travel club. He said he always tells the boys “that this is just another game, and there are thousands more games in front of them than behind them.”
